Together with their compatriots from Haemorrhage,Gruesome Stuff Relish (GSR) are the best known (at least to me of corpse) Carcass-worshipping Spanish band. But unlike Haemorrhage whose lyrics deal mainly with medical pathological themes,the point here is put on the classic horror movies and especially those of the great Fulci. No wonder the openin...

Short piano intro and the following sonic outbirst of insnane double-bass drumming and chugging guitars hits you right in the face. The guys we are dealing with come from Brescia in Italy,their band is called Synapses and "Expiation" is their debut album.

The first band on this split CD, released by the Californian label Buriedinhell Records, is the one of the weirdest things that I have ever listened to. Knifethruhead are a seven piece combo from Sacramento,CA and what they play is a mind-blowing mixture of grindcore and powerviolence enriched with some saxophone. The opening track "Joggin' With My...

Judging from the band's name, these "grillz" can originate from some sunshine state like Arizona or Texas but that's not the case. Buffalo Grillz are from Roma, Italy and "Manzo Criminale" is their statement to the world that Italians know how to grind. Enrico (vocals), Cinghio (guitar), Cux (bass) and Mastino (drums) come from different bands like...

"Forc...

The guys have two full-length albums behind their backs: "Putrefy" from 2006 and "One Nation Under Gore" from 2009 but the subject of this rev...

When you have names like Fleshgrinder on the bass and a Soulless Cadaver behind the drums in your band, most probably you don't play happy sing-a-long metal. And of course Asilent from Singapore are playing brutal death metal which in their case means nonstop blastbeats, frantic guitar riffing and guttural vocals. "Recalibrated Chaos" is the deb...
